And the Lord spoke to Noah and said, "In one year, I am going to make it rain and cover the whole earth with water until all flesh is destroyed, but I want you to save the righteous people and two of every kind of living thing on earth. Therefore, I am commanding you to build an Ark."In a flash of lightning, God delivered the specifications for an Ark.

In fear and trembling, Noah took the plans and agreed to build the ark. "Remember," said the Lord, "you must complete the Ark and bring everything aboard in one year.

Exactly one year later, fierce storm clouds covered the earth and all the seas of the earth went into a tumult. The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard weeping."Noah," he shouted. "Where is the Ark?"

I found this somewhere on a web surfing expedition...... as you look at the picturescheck out the puny little humans that are building theres things :)

"The Batillus class supertankers" are the largest vessels by gross tonnage ever built. There were 4 of them, each at 555,000 metric tons DWT, constructed by France in the 1970s. A gross tonnage of Batillus is 275,276 tons. Still, if considering fully-loaded displacement, the Batillus ships don’t hold the world’s record. They are edged out by the Seawise Giant ship that serves as an oil tanker. Still, the Batillus class ships are records for tankers (with the depth of 36 meters and full load draft of 28.5 meters), and, inside this post, you can see how these largest ships were built.

Everybody should heed the warnings not to feed wildlife because they become dependent and don't forage for themselves any longer. It is such a tragedy to see what has been done to our country's wildlife.

The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect
U.S. wildlife.

Animals that formerly were self-sufficient are now showing signs......

So the story goes that a camera lens falls out of the sky and hits a woman's home, smashing thru the roof and doing an estimated $4500.00 in damages. The story is weird in itself as to where the lens came from.There is an airport and skydiving nearby to the area so that probably explains it.That's not the interesting part, its the amount of the repair that gets the comments.

My name is Chris Lyman and I am a die-hard political weenie. My grandmother was Undersecretary of the Air Force under the Carter administration (not bad for a woman in the 1970s!) and much of my formidable youth was spent arguing around a dinner table: left, right, and center. I watch two hours of political news each day and, well, it's clear: I have politics on the brain. :)

This is why I write to you today. One year ago, I co-founded a political/tech startup. The company is called SendLove.to and our goal is: real-time, social polling to improve the political discourse. See, the web has done a great job of giving the "little guy" a voice. But, it has done a lousy job of distilling those voices into actionable data for our politicians. They still rely on phone surveys!

So, my company has made this really cool, free plugin for publishers. It scans your articles for politicians and allows your readers to rate & discuss the people you write about. It also introduces them to older articles about the same people to drive up your engagement numbers. So, far so good! We are on about 350 sites including www.themoderatevoice.com. They have gone on record reporting saying that they see a 42% increase to time spent per article and a 71% increase to page views. The 2nd stat seems inflated, but I do not doubt the 1st one -- readers really like becoming engaged in the political process.

The plugin is gorgeous and I have included some screenies below. I really think it's a great fit for The Feral Irishman. What do you think?

I was cruising the webs last night and came across a story about Devil's Tower. It is such anamazing landmark and a very weird geological formation. So I used the google to read more about it. It's pretty interesting to how they think it was "FORMED". ( and its wasn't mashed potatoes)

I know that we are going to need Ammo and Water and Food and Beer (hehehe) but I'm starting to think that alot of people will be putting in a huge effort to get the internets up and running again.Not only to share pictures of funny cats and stupid videos, But to help "THIS" company get their message out from their bunker.

I started going for my morning walks again this week. According to my pedometer I havent walked since July 6th- shame on me. I do enjoy the morning at 5:30 its such a peaceful time of day. There are only a few people out and a handful of cars pass by.

The beginning of the week I was more motivated than this morning. I kinda wanted to stay in bed and sleep a little more, maybe I should have hidden in my pillow:

I have watched both debates so far and no-one in particular had given me
the feeling that they would make a GREAT President. I have reservations
about all the candidates and feel that it would be better served if they
all agreed to work together and take a position in the government
that focused on their strengths. I know that's a pipe dream, but
never the less it would make for a government that might actually
be able to accomplish what most of us want.

If you are like me, you are waiting patiently (or impatiently) for a leader, a true leader. What we seek is someone, anyone who can galvanize the American spirit and bring to the fore the lost principles that in their absence have left America rudderless in this new age. We have been mis-lead for a long time, by all political parties, who in the end are not capable of leading a free nation.

I just got back from a walk. According to my pedometer I havent been out since July 6th and I'm kicking myself in the ass for that. Back in the spring I was walking 6 days a week and sometimes twice aday. The usual time was 45 minutes to an hour. Anyway I havent listened to my ipod in 2 months so it was great to hear some of the songs on it.

Do you remember this photograph? In the United States, people have taken pains to banish it from the record of September 11, 2001. The story behind it, though, and the search for the man pictured in it, are our most intimate connection to the horror of that day.

I keep coming back to the thought of ...MY GOD.. how horrible and desperate the situation must
have been to be forced to choose jumping and free falling to your death vs. being suffocated or burned to
death in the building. My thoughts also go to the many brave rescuers that ran TO the buildings and started
climbing the stairs knowing that they were probably going to their deaths.
